I refill. Unless you prechill the bottle in the freezer, you will not be able to get even close to the amount into the tank that came out, and therefore will not be able to overfill it, AFAIK. When I do prechill, I preweigh the empty bottle and write the empty weight on the bottle. Then When I fill it, I weight it to make sure I don't overfill. You get a feel for when to stop filling, but I still check it. I've had one that leaked so far. I just hooked to my stove and used it like regular, then threw it away empty. I just use the refilled tanks around home and probably would not carry them inside the van. I like the suggestion people made of the little pancake tanks. How much do they hold? Edward
